"Cisco SD-WAN's collaborative features are unique and sustainable. I also like the protocols, which use two SD-WAN."
"One of the most valuable features is that they have multiple SD-WAN options: you have Meraki for simple management solutions, you have Viptela, and you have the option of having any type of WAN interfaces. Presently, you can also have a single combined solution for both WAN as well as for voice, so you can have a voice bundle as well. These are major unique points of this solution."
"It's a good product. After the scan our internet works well. It scans our security posture."
"The most valuable feature is the connection of threat intelligence information with identified vulnerabilities, which means you can prioritize vulnerabilities according to actual attacks."
"I like Qualys because it is a very complete product, more so than Tenable."

"Better pricing and greater security would be nice to see."
"Cisco needs to improve the technical support for this solution."
"If you don't have an in-house design team or outsource to a third party with expertise, the setup will be difficult."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The solution is a bit complicated."
"The whole solution needs to be re-imagined. It's quite complex right now and really needs to be simplified to make it easier for those of us using it. It should offer more simplified management as well."
"They have taken away our ability to do what we are good at, which is working on the CLI, the interface right on the router. They have limited the commands so much that troubleshooting is nearly impossible."
"Qualys does have an on-prem solution, but it is very expensive."
"One of the biggest issues from the clients' perspective is that all Qualys computing is on the cloud."
"They're still evolving their platform in terms of reporting capabilities."
"Make some minimal dashboard improvements."
"There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys."
"Qualys could improve the inbuilt dashboards."
"It would be nice to have an all-in-one solution that was automated and could handle the scanning and reports as well as the patching and updating."
"Integration could be better. When you think about scanning, it's not used just with this product alone but with other Qualys products. If you think about the bundle, the product itself is good. But integration with other products and packages has space for improvement. They should also offer a better price for bundles."
